The mornings here have always been crisp, but as summer winds down and we move into fall the mornings and nights are down right chilly. Along with cooler weather I was hoping for less rain...hasn't happened yet.
There have been two literacy meetings now, yesterday and the Friday before. The first meeting was a complete failure. One person showed up. After the disappointment I decided I needed to rally. So, last week I went around to every neighborhood advising people about the meeting.
That Friday after, the rain clouds clung to the mountains. At three o'clock I watch a curtain of rain come towards my house. I sighed deeply knowing attendance at the meeting in two hours would be slim. When five rolled around, I walked the short distance to the school only to find it empty. I had expected late arrivals, but as a half an hour rolled past I was still alone, disappointment once again.
By six, there were five students, and my two facilitators.
I am planning on trying again. This next time I am going to try an attendance raffle and refreshments.
